do you remember ALPHAVILLE?

"forever young, i want to be forever young
do you really want to līve forever, forever and ever

let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
hoping for the best but expecting the worst
are you going to drop the bomb or not?

let us die young or let us live forever
we don't have the power but we never say never
sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
the music's for the sad men

can you imagine when this race is won
turn our golden faces into the sun
praising our leaders we're getting in tune
the music's played by the madmen

forever young, i want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

some are like water, some are like the heat
some are a melody and some are the beat
sooner or later they all will be gone
why don't they stay young

it's so hard to get old without a cause
i don't want to perish like a fading horse
youth is like diamonds in the sun
and dimonds are forever

so many adventures couldn't happen today
so many songs we forgot to play
so many dreams are swinging out of the blue
we let them come true"

* we had the pleasant surprise of being invited by the Cityhall to an ALPHAVILLE concert while celebrating the days of Oradea in october 2006 ... the concert was amazing ... too short if you ask me and the other 20,000 or maybe even more participants

** see WS1 and WS2, for more instances captured during the same concert

I'm remember this band, some time ago. Great picture, it's not easy without flash and in this case it's very well done.
Nice warm colors.
Nice regards,
Jean-Claude

Good image with plenty of impact, well done Teodora!

Hi Thea,
I surely remember this song, it's one of my favorites from the '80es, but your photo is amazing, great sharpness and colors, u've really done an amazing shot, I'll check the workshops just after...
Best,
Gordana

Hm... I like Alphaville. I listen to them every once in a while and really enjoy their songs. Well... at least their most famous hits and this is one of them. I guess I never really paid attention to the lyrics, but now, after reading them here, I could say I'm glad I'm getting old. I must be crazy to wish I'd stay forever young...
Nice shots, though... I tried recently something similar and I wasn't very happy with the results. Mine came out more like this.

Hello Dora,

A first class action shot! It conveys light and sound with the effective composition and colors. The understated frame is simple but elegant. Finally, the note is first class,

Bulent

Yes!!! I do remember!
Sounds like a melody, my favorite...

Great shot, nice moment with this special effects.
Ciao

Hello Teodora!
Amazing scene! Great shown atmosphere of the concert!
Great are the lightened fogs and the artist in the middle!
Great work!
Best regards!

Buna Dora,
Cred ca e destul de reusit experimentul :) - imi place cum ai surprins atmosfera si imi place mult si formatul imaginii. Daca ar fi sa ma leg de ceva cred ca ar fi efectul de 'smoke' de pe scena - mai ales in partea inferioara a imaginii (in lumina portocalie) - mi-ar fi placut sa fie mai evidenta 'consistenta' (nu stiu cum sa explic dar cred ca intelegi ce vreau sa spun :). Nu stiu cat depindea asta de tine (sau de camera ta); oricum, pentru conditiile in care ai fotografiat, ai obtinut o calitate buna a imaginii. Eu n-as fi reusit nici jumatate din ce ai tu aici :)))
Deci felicitari si 'keep on experimenting...'. Imaginile sunt bune :)
P.S.
Imi place mult si 'altered image #1' din WS.
Toate cele bune :)

Hi teodora,
nice your shot from the singer with these worm colours on the scene.Good composition and good POV.Well done
Regards,Danos

Hi Teodora,
A good gig shot. I like the lights criss crossing clouds of smoke. Square format fits well. And the singer is clearly singing something slow and emotional.
Kari

Hi Teodora,
I know the group indeed too....
A beautiful picture with a good environment in concert..!
Very good framing, good light and colours, very nice composition..!
Best regards,
Patrick

Yes I remember Alphaville and I like this song. I was wondering whatever happened to them as a group. This is a wonderful capture of a stage performance. The singer is beautifully placed in your frame and the stage atmosphere and lighting look great. Bes wishes, Danilo

Great shot, Dora! I remember the song very well (I guess it says something about my age). You've captured his intensity very well in his expression, and I love the dream-like play of light and smoke here. Great stuff!
Regards,
Ryno

Hi Teodora,
Its never easy to get a good shot going at concerts and this is a superlative effort indeed. Excellent POV. Love the way you have managed to use the limited light to your benefit.

wooww... Aphaville concert !! I wish I could see too !!
very nice stage picture, Dora
the light, the singer is perfectly captured

Hi Teodora. You have caught the atmosphere well and composed beautifully with this shot. Good colour and detail. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

very very effective frame work and perfect exposure.
:-)

Yes I do!
Great photo of a great band! You've been mastering the difficult lightning conditions for a beautiful result, not only from a technical perspective but also for the overall mood.
Let me play it on my Ipod right now and look again at the photo!
Thanks!!
Vincent

Hi Teodora,

I sure am thrilled to see this photo of Alphaville, I love "Forever Young!" Does his voice still sound the same or has it grown lower and deeper? :P

Anyway, nice capture of this performance, cool fog and lights :)

Thanks for sharing!

Peace,
Kaye

hallo teodora!
forever young is a song by Bob Dylan - not true
